Hi Christian, I entered TOEFL exam twice , Yes I was nerves for the first time , because I didn't practices that much and the reading and writing parts was difficult for me ( scientific articles , scientific terms ) but on the second time , I entered many online TOEFL exams and read many articles in different fields . I bought a book that helped me a lot " Longman Preparation Course for the TOEFL " I practiced my writing by reading and writing different kinds of essays and when the time of my exam came, I passed the TOEFL with flying colors :) Good Luck ^_^ it's not that hard when you prepare for it

I've taken it a couple of times. The first time I was rather nervous because I had no idea how difficuld it was going to be. The second time I was much less nervous. I don't think it is very difficult, although there are a few tricky questions that really make you hesitate which answer to choose. After the first TOEFL, I started practising my listening skill much more, and I really improved. My score was 653 the first time and 660 the second. Actually I was a bit disappointed the second time because I was expecting 670 T_T Are you planning to take it?

Hi Christian, this Italki site has some good tips http://www.italki.com/knowledge/page/TOEFL%20EXAM%20PREPARATION%20TIPS.htm

I took the TOEFL test in the last month. I needed at least 80 points to apply for exchange study program and I got around of 90. That was the first time and I was really nervous before I started to solve questions. But since when it began, I focused on the test with no tension. If you're ready enough and have practiced a lot, there wont be no big problem. Virtual TOEFL test that ETS offers were helpful to me, I think.

so ez :P
